Presidents and Painkillers: What Schlocko Read in 2021

Last January, I wondered, seriously, if I would read less in 2021 since I'd be spending less time in isolation . . after all, the COVID pandemic was over because everyone would be getting vaccinated. If I predict sunshine and hot weather in the summer, expect a July 4 blizzard.
